  1. Too busy...finally "only" doing regular life now. Got our oldest married just before Christmas (with 5 weeks notice), so been pretty crazy in these parts the last little while. LOL

    Copied this from FB. Kool that Oz Welch is redoing the Bad Apple. Can’t wait to see this one finished. Oz is about to whack the roof off of the beautiful Bad Apple Merc. He said the Merc drew first blood but it's on now. The Man has a vision in his head and won't stop till it's been achieved. I have no doubts it will be nothing short of Flawless with it's new top in place.

  3. So he took the top from Bad Apple and put it on an different car and then put a new top on Bad Apple? Seems odd.

    I was shocked when Oz ran the ad on FB. He sold the top off Bad Apple and would weld it on another Merc for $$$. I can’t remember the price but it was reasonable offer. Looks like he wanted more of a chop than what was on it. Like Jeff “HOF” Myers says, it’s only metal cut it up!

  5. I guess for the guy buying it it was probably cheaper than paying for a fresh chop. LOL still seems mental to me.:D
    Love Oz's work.

  8. I wonder what the story is with the Merc in the background with the Buick headlights. It has been in the back ground of pictures from Oz's shop for at least 10 year and it never seems to change.

    Joe Bailon was known for his handmade grilles. This beautiful Merc is reminiscent of his handiwook.

    Hard to find anything kooler than a Joe Bailon grill.
     
  23. Seem's to me the grille on Joe Fig's Merc (the burgundy one) is a Bailon grille
     
  24. Joe Fig owned a Bailon built Merc before this one, not sure if Mr. Bailon had a hand in this one though.
